Is the OXVA XLIM SQ PRO Worth It? Full Review

OXVA SLIM SQ PRO

The OXVA XLIM SQ PRO has fast become one of the most talked about pod devices this year. It’s small, attractive, and promises improved taste and increased battery. But is this really everything it is cracked up to be? 

Design and Feel

The SQ PRO is a clean square piece of gear with solid but lightweight in the hand. The smooth evenness and matte texture give it a good grip without looking bulky. OXVA added a color screen on the front displaying battery percentage, puff count, coil resistance, and wattage. The Type C charging port is neatly located at the bottom, and there is a new airflow slider that allows you to control how tight or loose you want your draw.

Battery and Charging

The OXVA device is equipped with a pack of a 1200mAh battery, which is easily enough for a full day for most. If you’re a light vaper, it can even extend to two. And when you need to charge the 2A fast charging fills it up in around 40-45 minutes.

You may also vape while it is charging, which is handy for anyone who does not wish to have downtime. The USB-C cable fits in snugly, and the battery level indicator on the screen helps you to keep track of what you are charging.

Pods and Coils

The SQ PRO uses OXVA’s V2 and V3 pods, which are great because they’re compatible with other XLIM devices. So if you have had one in the past, you won’t have to purchase a whole new set of pods.

It works well with 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω coils. The 0.6 ohm gives you a slightly warmer vapor and thicker clouds, whereas the 0.8 ohm is smoother and perfect for salt nic. The new top-fill concept of the V3 pods makes refilling fast and leak-free.

Each pod contains 2ml of e-liquid, which is sufficient for multiple sessions without having to be constantly refilled.

Flavor and Performance

Flavour performance is where OXVA really excels, and the SQ PRO follows that trend. The vapor is rich, clean, and consistent. The 0.6 ohms coil is more intense and warm, perfect for those who enjoy a more robust hit. The 0.8-Ohm coil provides a tighter cigarette-style draw that is ideal for higher nicotine strength.

The airflow control slider allows you to adjust your draw from loose to tight. Whether you are a mouth-to-lung or a restricted direct lung hit taker, the SQ PRO can do both comfortably.

Compared to older XLIM models such as the SE or Pro, this version is a little smoother and steadier. The flavor does not change with long use, and the vapor does not fall off quickly.

Build Quality and Usability

The build quality is solid for a small pod device. The square shape is easy to grip, and it lies flat on a table without rolling off the table.

The screen layout is simple with no confusing menus, no fancy animations. The wattage can be easily adjusted in a few clicks. It’s reliable and clean to use.

Coil Life and Maintenance

Each coil lasts about one to two weeks, depending on how often you vape and what type of e-liquid you use. Sweeter e-liquid has a tendency to reduce coil life whereas cleaner or low-sugar e-liquid helps to extend the life of coils.

To extend coil life, make sure to:

  • Prime the coil before first use by letting it soak in e-liquid for a few minutes.
  • Avoid chain vaping so the cotton doesn’t dry out.
  • Stay within the recommended wattage printed on the coil.
  • Clean the pod once a week to prevent buildup.

A well-maintained coil delivers better flavor and saves you money over time.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for something simple or an experienced user wanting a reliable backup, it fits both sides well.
